“The County Health Department continues to make H1N1 flu vaccine clinics a top priority,” Public Health Director John Volanti said in a press release. “Despite the recall of vaccine for young children, we have ample supply of non-affected vaccine to vaccinate residents of all ages. The flu vaccine is still the safest and most effective way to protect against the flu.”

People who have a fever or have received other live vaccines, such as flu mist or the measles, mumps or a rubella shot in the past few weeks, may not be eligible to receive a flu vaccine based on the health department’s guidelines for vaccine administration.
